Dear Jake

I love you.

I love you from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my smile.

I love they way your voice sounds early in the morning

I love the way your hair sticks up at night

I love the way you sing when I have bad dreams

I love the way you make me lemonade on hot summer days.

You make me smile when you walk into a room

You make me laugh when I feel like burying myself in mud and never waking up again

You make me feel so needed

You make me feel when before I felt nothing

You tempt the shy butterflies in my stomach out of their cocoons

You fill the empty cracks in my soul.

I want to stand next to you forever.

I want to be yours.

I want you to be mine.

I want you to love me too.

I want you to kiss me breathless

I want you to laugh yourself silly

I want you to smile at me under a sunset and say

“I love you”

I love you Jake.
